Perchance recall the book? I'm semi-interested in retro approaches to the problem.

  I'd love to find the book again... I bet it's out of print, though. It had lots of detail on modelling damage to tanks, and creating terrain, and working out things like line-of-sight in complex worlds, and I think some basic AI, but had nothing to say about snazzy graphics whatsoever; I think it made some reference to vector displays or something like that ;-)

The fact that a description like this still doesn't help in locating a book (when you think about it the set of all books published is a small one compared to say the domain of web pages on the internet), shows how much work still remians to be done in search.
